JAN. 80. -There has been a great deal
said through the II. AND T. about the
Jockey Club. l wish to inform you that
there are others that are very anxious to
join IL club. "Phelim" has been trying
for some time to get in, but there are
some very serious difficulties in the way.
l will lame q few of them. In the first
place, he hasn't got a two dollar and fifty
cent horse that he talks so much about,
nor the money TO buy him, and, our in
itiation fee is 25 cents and he can't make
the raise of that sum, and therefore he
has been rejected. AS far as | am indi.
vidually concerned | would be willing to
take him in like the good Methodist
brethren take their members in-on six
months trial-and give him a chance to
make something Of himself; he might
have the good luck 10 make the 20 cents
and probably have q chance to borrow
the ~ 80 to buy the horse to start on be-
fore the six months run out. We will
have that up at our next meeting and sec
what can be done for him, for l have a
warm sympathy for him and will do all
in my power to make something of him.
Our esteemed friend. Mr.. Mccall, has
made application al Indifferent times to join
our little band. So VIZ called a meeting
for his special benefit, but the club de-
cided that he was too far in advance of
the members as o jockey and that his
membership might possibly be a draw
back to the cause; therefore he has been
rejected. Squire Simpson has been
thinking very seriously of becoming one
of us; but, a few days ago, he sold his
saddle horse 10 Mr.. geKsis. and has not
got the stock to start ~, snt has conclud-
cd not to join, Of which / am very sorry,
for Darby would be a good horse 10 trade
on, in spite Of his horns, and I believe
that he could soon double his money. /
think we have lost considerable by the
Squire backing out, as l believe that he
would have been q lamp 70 our path.
guess we will have to give him up fol
the present, at least, but hope that he
will in the near future be one of us.

Tho prohibition Amendment.

MIR. EDIroR:-The prohibition amend
ment to the constitution passed the Sen
ate last week-31 ayes to 2 nays. When
passed by o two.third majority in the
House 1t will be submitted to a vote of
the people, perhaps about the first Thurs.
day in August, next.
The opponents of this amendment are
trying TO make it unpopular with the
people by what they call the "%compensa-
ton bill"-a bill to pay the whiskey men
for their losses, If the amendment bill is
ratified by the people. Of course no such
bill will be passed, but it is pending, and
will be agitated for the purpose of Undue
ing tax payers to vote against prohibit
ton.
The whisky men have no rights under
the constitution to be enforced against
the people, for their business always re-
quires q license from the State, not longer
than a year at a time, and the courts have
nelu tnat the Incense is no protection even
against the four mile law. Hundreds of
saloons and distilleries have been closed
and suppressed by the four mile law, yet
who ever heard of compensation being
asked or expected
A Democratic paper at Nashville says
the whisky men are trying to negotiate
with the Republicans for their votes
against the amendment. This will be
time and money thrown away. for the
Republican party is the friend OF prohi-
bition in all States where the question
has been made, and Tennessee Republi.
cans are as true to principle as elsewhere.
